Some really cool people have some really nice things to say about me.

“I have worked with Chris on numerous projects over the course of several years, and I’m constantly looking forward to our next collaboration. Chris is an extremely talented designer who always comes to the table with new ideas and creative solutions that push our brand to new heights. From helping to develop our brand and build our brand style guide from the ground up, to designing our website and an incredible amount of other marketing assets, Chris has played a key role in creating the Cognitiv brand and any organization would be lucky to work with him!”
Margot Dayton
Associate Director, Content & Brand, Cognitiv -
“I worked with Chris on a large, multi-platform, global Google campaign - twice! And both times he was wonderful, thoughtful and brilliant. He's a real team player and steps in to help every member of the team, gets the work done but makes sure that everyone feels heard and respected. And he's got a great design eye and brought our work to the next level. I would work with Chris anytime , on anything!”
Fawna Xiao
Head of Production & Operations, Across the Pond -
“Chris Mallinson is an A+++++++ Creative Rockstar. Chris was one of the first full-time Art Director's we hired at Bartley & Dick and quite honestly, one of the best decisions we ever made. I would describe Chris as a world-class problem solver + a fantastic art director/designer + a wonderful personality. Chris understands both big picture thinking and kick-ass tactical execution. He always pushes himself to do more, to think bigger, and he consistently knocks ideas out of the park. Every. Single. Time.
Chris is also fantastic when working directly with clients or junior design staff. He has the right combination of confidence and humbleness... and he is a great listener. We love him, clients love him, other designers love him... You will love him, too. I would HIGHLY recommend Chris to anyone looking to add an A-Team creative to their marketing bench. You will not be disappointed.”
